Our Alumni Legacy

For over four decades, Logrea Dance Academy has been a proud foundation for discipline, growth, and excellence.Founded in 1986 by internationally acclaimed soloists Jean Logrea and Beth Fritz-Logrea, and continuing today under the family leadership of co-director Nick Logrea, our studio has always been a tight-knit family and a cultural anchor for our community. ​​The rich experiences and diverse achievements of our former students serve as an incredible motivation for our present dancers.​​

Logrea alumni prove that a foundation in classical training opens doors to success across many paths. We look at every generation of dancers who passes through our doors as part of our extended family. We are incredibly proud of our alumni, many of whom have returned to Westchester to enroll their own children as second- and third-generation Logrea students.
